Love Destroys me

Love destroys me whenever it finds me

Love pulls me up and throws me down

Love leaves me shattered and confused

Love beats me down and runs me over

And I never know what’s happening

Love finds me and then I’m lost

In a sea of confusion, a web of anguish

Love hurts me and comforts me

Slices me open and leaves me raw

Love wounds me yet I can never get enough.

Love turns my blood to fire and ice

Makes me hot and cold at once

Love makes me anxious and then delights me

Love takes my breath away and makes my heart swell

Sometimes with joy but mostly with pain

Love comes to me when I least expect

I never see it coming

I never know it’s here

Love leaves me empty and only then

Do I realise what has gone by

Love comes to me in many ways

Love disguises, I never recognise it

Love eludes me because I never know

Who came calling when love goes by
